AC quit?
Check these before you call
- Thermostat set to Cool and below room temperature, with fresh batteries if it uses them.
- Breakers for both the indoor and outdoor units. Reset a tripped breaker once only.
- The air filter. A clogged filter can freeze the coil and stop the cooling.
- Ice on the copper lines? Turn the system off, run the fan only and let it thaw.
- Water in the drain pan or a dripping ceiling? A blocked condensate drain may have shut the system off.

Learn moreWhy it fails in summer
Chandler air conditioners work harder than most
Summer afternoons in Chandler regularly pass 110°F, the cooling season runs from spring well into fall, and monsoon dust storms pack the outdoor coil with grit. An air conditioner here can run for months with barely a break, and the parts that fail first are the ones that work hardest: capacitors, contactors, fan motors and, eventually, compressors.
Most homes in the city were built since the 1980s, with split systems or heat pumps, the air handler in the attic or a garage closet, and ducts running through an attic that gets far hotter than the outside air. When cooling fails, the fix might be a part, a duct, a drain or the whole system. Finding out which takes measurements, not guesses.
What good work looks like
What to expect from an AC contractor
Whoever you hire, these are fair things to expect and to ask about.
Diagnosis before parts
Measurements and tests that find the fault, not a guess and a parts swap.
A written price
What will be done and what it costs, agreed before the work starts.
Repair and replace numbers
On an older system, the cost of both options so you can decide.
A licence you can check
An Arizona Registrar of Contractors licence number you can look up at roc.az.gov.
Certified refrigerant handling
Technicians who work on refrigerant need EPA Section 608 certification.
Permits where needed
System replacements usually need a permit. Ask who pulls it.

Questions
What people ask
Are you an AC company?
No. We don't run our own crews. AC Repair Chandler is a referral service: we connect you with an independent local heating and cooling contractor, which diagnoses the system, gives you the price and does the work. See our referral disclosure.
Does it cost anything to call?
No. Our service is free to you. The contractor may pay us for the referral. Whatever you agree with them is between you and that company.
Does an AC contractor need a licence in Arizona?
Yes. Contractors in Arizona are licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Ask for the ROC licence number and look it up before work starts. Technicians who handle refrigerant also need EPA Section 608 certification.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
It depends on the age of the system, the repair cost, how often it has failed and whether it uses R-22. A good contractor gives you the numbers for both and lets you decide. The AC guide walks through it.
My AC runs all afternoon and the house is still warm. Is it broken?
Not necessarily. On the hottest afternoons many systems run nonstop and the house drifts a few degrees above the setting. If it keeps getting warmer into the evening, the air from the vents isn't cool, or it never shuts off at night, have it checked.
I rent. Who fixes the AC?
Usually the landlord, if the AC came with the home. Under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, cooling the landlord supplies is treated as an essential service. Tell the landlord in writing right away and keep a copy.
